Sterling Silver Half Pint Tankard - Antique George IV (1820) Video

Sterling Silver Half Pint Tankard - Antique George IV (1820)

Description

This exceptional antique George IV sterling silver half pint lady's tankard has a cylindrical shaped form onto a spreading collet style foot.

The body of this small silver tankard is encircled with two fine and impressive broad bands of tooled decoration, in addition to an applied moulded border to the rim.

The antique silver tankard retains the original hallmarked domed hinged cover encircled with further bands of tooled decoration; this unusual flanking hinge is an impressive example of engineering for the period and indicates the high quality of the piece.

The cover is surmounted with an impressive thumbpiece modelled in the form of a scallop shell.

The tankard is fitted with an impressive plain faceted angular handle with an incurved thumbpiece.

Such small antique tankards are becoming increasingly difficult to locate; period tankards of this size would have been crafted for a lady.

Andrew Campbell started trading in antiques during the 1970s. Initially, Andrew lived in the South of England, travelling the country, searching for items of silver to buy. Andrew sold these items at various London markets and antique fairs. Over time, and through selling at a range of venues, Andrew built up a large and diverse customer base from private buyers to national and international trade customers.
